Avery Dennison makes leadership changes

Hart is re-joining the commercial organization after holding previous customer service, marketing, and sustainability roles. Most recently, she served as the vice president of sustainable innovation platforms. She has more than 20 years of experience at Avery Dennison. Her strong internal and customer relationships are in-line with Avery Dennison’s priority of customer service and maintaining and building customer relationships. Hart will continue to serve as president of the executive board of Celab.

‘We are excited to welcome Tina back to the commercial organization and congratulate her on this new role,’ said Jeroen Diderich, vice president and general manager, Label and Graphic Materials, North America. ‘Tina has added immense value in every role she has held at Avery Dennison. Her customer-first mentality is an excellent fit for leading our sales and customer service teams.’

Bill Podojil has been with Avery Dennison for over 25 years and has held roles in graphic and labels businesses in North America and Europe. He was vice president of sales for label and packaging materials, North America. With the changes of flexible work and emerging virtual collaboration, Bill’s passion for connecting with our customers and making it easy to do business with Avery Dennison is a perfect fit for this newly formed role. 

‘Bill’s cross-business and cross-region experience with Avery Dennison will help us provide innovative ways of connecting with our customers,’ added Diderich. ‘With the changing work environment, we want to ensure our customers can connect with us in any way that works for them.’

Both Tina Hart and Bill Podojil currently reside in Northeast Ohio and continue to be based in Avery Dennison’s office in Mentor, Ohio.
